Daikon Pickles - #2 image

These daikon pickles are a recipe from Barbara Tropp. My daughter #2 loves these. Daughter # 3 prefers an alternate recipe I make. Things get confusing around our house when I try to please everyone at once. Any way, this is an easy pickle, flavors improve as it sits, lasts a while under refrigeration. The ginger/lemon flavors really come through here. I use a mandoline to get perfect thin slices. Most days I leave the jalapenos out, and just use the pepper flakes.

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb daikon radish, cut into paper thin slices
10 slices fresh gingerroot (paper thin slices)
2 small green jalapeno peppers, cut into paper thin rings
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 cup unseasoned japanese rice vinegar
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cover the daikon with boiling water and let sit for 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and immediately cool down with an ice bath. Drain again.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir as it's coming up to temperature. When it gets to the boil, add the daikon slices, cover the pot and remove from the heat.
  • Cool to room temperature, transfer from the saucepan into a clean container and then store in the refrigerator, still in the pickling liquid.
